DESCRIPTION:At its core\, WordPress is a terrific blogging system-it's where its roots are. But as WordPress has matured\, it's grown into an excellent choice for a content management system (CMS). WordPress should be a CMS option for any library looking for a dynamic online presence that makes it easy to create and publish content. With a bit of creative tweaking\, WordPress is also a wonderful choice for larger\, more complex sites and projects\, such as learning management systems\, social networks\, digital archives\, and even an interface for a library catalog. Topics include practical plug-ins\, podcasting\, theming\, content types\, social networking integration\, site analytics\, security\, optimization\, and much more.

DESCRIPTION:Intranets should provide quick and easy access to organizational information\, whether in libraries or corporations. Moreover\, the days of top-down communication and controlled internal messages are-or should be-behind us. Many libraries have been moving their intranet sites away from the traditional HTML design and toward content management systems\, notably the open source product Drupal. In this interactive workshop by experienced web librarians\, speakers provide accounts of migrating their libraries' intranets into the Drupal content management system (CMS)\, sharing best practices and lessons learned.

DESCRIPTION:Planning has gotten a bad rap. Too often\, libraries see strategic planning as a series of time-wasting meetings and flipcharts that result in a plan that's rarely referred to and not implemented. It doesn't have to be that way! Using an accelerated planning model\, many successful libraries draft their plan quickly and with as much staff engagement as possible. Learn how to adapt this accelerated planning process for your library\, and leave with a draft plan to discuss with your colleagues when you return to work. If your library is working on technology plans\, staffing plans\, succession plans\, or digital service plans\, start with this workshop. Whether you work in a public\, academic\, school\, or corporate library\, it's critical to consider the long-term implications of your library's future\, and to engage staff and stakeholders in those decisions before you design any other plans. Jones focuses on the critical elements of strategic planning\, determining your strategic goals in days (not months!)\, and\, most mportantly\, how to ensure these goals are implemented.

Speakers with experience in navigation and findability share insights into building a solid website foundation that helps users. Emanuel tackles the "disorganized" website built by well-intentioned staff with no significant training on usability\, accessibility\, or information architecture. She focuses on strategies and practical tools systems staff and librarians can use to inform each other about information architecture practices to create and maintain a better website. Erdman takes the view that perhaps it's not in the content but in the delivery that encourages users to start with Google and other search engines rather than libraries\, which have so much more content. She describes how one library changed the way the website is navigated in order to give users more confidence in selecting databases and easier access to help if they need added support. Goodbye lists and links\, and hello browseable\, sortable\, and discovery-based website.

Digital library dashboards give views of the data and statistics you need to smoothly run your library. Balsamo explains the process of creating a digital dashboard that allows users to customize which data they see and how it is visualized. He discusses the collection of disparate data\, the design of the instruments\, and the final solution that provides the data needed by staff anywhere and anytime. Trainor shows how to take your library beyond anecdotes to start putting the data to work and emphasizes the importance of choosing the right indicators for your dashboard.

DESCRIPTION:As libraries create profiles and mini-sites on social networking platforms\, how can they manage their identity across a variety of interfaces and tools? Koerber draws on examples from Blogger\, Google\, Flickr\, Delicious\, Library-Thing and Facebook to provide a checklist of steps to create a professional\, consistent identity through writing\, visual elements\, skins\, and overlays. Many organizations do not have a web strategy that is in alignment with the overall organization's strategy\, often resulting in an understaffed web library\, the first and primary contact. Ho looks at what is involved in running a web library and its virtual service points (Facebook\, Twitter\, mashups)\, and proposes a staff model to make a web library successful. Brazil discusses tools and procedures that can effectively help you manage your virtual customer interactions (especially complaints)\, provide immediate virtual technical assistance and help you use the data collected to improve services. Employing techniques shared in this session can result in less staff stress and confusion about responding to customer feedback and\, most importantly\, happy customers who are satisfied that their voices have been heard.

DESCRIPTION:The first presentation highlights a mobile version of an academic library website that values accessibility and functionality that was developed using core features and custom modules of Drupal's content management system\, an open source product. The site is accessed using any mobile browser but is optimized for the iPhone and other JavaScript-enabled mobile devices. Hear about all the features (catalog search\, Ebsco's mobile interface for journal searching\, text\, IM\, email and voice\, hours\, Google Maps\, the library's Twitter feed\, Facebook\, and library blog). McLaughlin discusses the process of building and hosting a web app for the iPhone using the jQTouch framework. District of Columbia Public Library released its iPhone app at the beginning of 2009 and was the first of a handful of libraries that currently have apps in the App Store. Without the necessary programming resources in-house or the funds to pay for outside development\, you can rely on existing personnel (web developers) and resources (a web server) to build a polished web app in-house. Open source tools such as jQTouch offer a framework for developing a single app that works across iPhone\, Android\, and webOS devices. These apps have the look and feel of a native iPhone app and can be updated at any moment by the library\, rather than on Apple's timeframe

DESCRIPTION:This panel features some of the most spectacular failures in the history of librarianship and the equally spectacular lessons learned as a result. Hear how we've failed in creating web portals\, effecting change in our institutions\, creating effective staff tools\, training\, getting staff buy-in\, and jumping on board with tech trends just a wee bit too early. We are proud that we failed\, as it means we were pushing the boundaries of the status quo. Learn from our mistakes\, hear what we did wrong\, and save yourself from the same spectacular FAILS!

DESCRIPTION:Failure: We all do it. Failure comes in many shapes and sizes. What can make or break you and your projects is how you respond to failure. No one likes it\, but avoiding (or trying to) isn't the answer either. Taking risks and being willing to fail is just as important as your reactions. This session talks about personal and project failure\, reactions\, and the lessons you can learn.

DESCRIPTION:What is it and how can it be used in the information world? The Shanachies discuss what it is and illustrate some uses. Houghton-Jan describes an original SJPL project using augmented reality and other mobile locationbased tools to connect San Jose residents and visitors to rare and original local history materials. The library is creating walking tours of significant\, high-foot-traffic areas of San Jose and connecting these sites with related rare photographs\, directories\, artifacts\, original building plans\, and oral histories. By going where the users are\, the library has been able to greatly increase the access to and visibility of rare San Jose history materials and to bring history alive.

During the last year\, info pros (and others according to Pew reports) have increased their use of video-sharing websites to discuss the latest innovation trends\, library-world news\, library tours\, advocacy campaigns\, educational series about financial literacy\, and more. Speakers highlight some powerful examples such as the "Angry Librarian\," developed to make a point about good public services; "The Adventures of Super Librarian\," about the many tasks and responsibilities of a public librarian; and Library 101\, a video about librarianship in general. They talk about developing video channels and provide tips for innovating through videocasting.

It covers how to create goals for the project\, scope the project\, develop a project plan\, ensure that everyone is on board with user research\, as well as how to base decisions on research findings rather than opinion. Marquez discusses creating a new look and feel that was distinct from the previous site\, implementing Blacklight\, a relatively new discovery layer tool making the OPAC more alive and functional. He shares learnings from the redesign process using visual examples of wireframes and notes.

Trainer discusses how a mid-size academic library is combining UX principles and cross-division collaboration to make its web presence pop. By bringing best practices to LibGuides and soliciting regular usability feedback\, the libraries' UX team has redesigned the OPAC\, SFX menu\, and the library website itself in anticipation of the university's move to Drupal. Blyberg's public library UX department constantly strives to maintain a digital strategy that is right for "right now" while anticipating future needs and trends. It "embeds" itself in all aspects of library activity\, making departmental boundaries irrelevant.

It's a seminal technology change as important as the shift from mainframes to client/server architectures. We're hearing more about application service providers\, software-as-a-service\, storage-as-a-service\, and platform-as-a-service. How does OCLC's global WorldCat platform fit into the mix? What is the difference between public and private clouds? What are the issues for libraries in the deployment of cloud computing in terms of cost\, efficiency\, privacy\, control\, and security? Marshall Breeding clarifies the concepts of cloud computing with examples of interest to libraries.

DESCRIPTION:UC Irvine Libraries set about to develop a pilot project for patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of ebooks with the goal of saving money in the collections budget. The pilot was intended to allow ebooks to be purchased for current-year imprints as a means of replacing a portion of the traditional print approval plan acquisitions. As the various e-book provider models were investigated\, and as we developed the framework within which the pilot needed to operate\, we were met with seemingly insurmountable obstacles at every turn: from the publishers' reluctance to release print and electronic books simultaneously - or at least within a specified embargo period - to the difficulty of integrating a PDA program with the print approval plan to avoid purchasing content in duplicate formats. We would like to share our experiences in the hopes that other libraries will join our efforts to convince e-book publishers and providers to make a patron-driven acquisition of ebooks program more viable for libraries which wish to replace their traditional print approval plans and better serve their user population.

With this capability in mind\, MSU Libraries has been utilizing Apple's iTunes software as a content delivery platform to distribute files and university research content. In this session\, we'll take you through some working applications from MSU using iTunes\, show you how to build iTunes XML that can create a library media landing page\, and talk through some of the lessons learned. Come learn how this cross-platform and free software can help you deliver content to your patrons in new and engaging ways.

DESCRIPTION:What would it look like if the stories of the communities that you serve were told by the members and residents of the community? How can a library provide support and leadership for bringing forward an online centerpiece that inspires community residents and workers to explore\, share\, and connect with what people express as meaningful about our communities? Columbus Metropolitan Library achieved this vision through valuable partnership with collaborator and sponsor WOSU Public Media. Columbus Metropolitan Library and WOSU Public Media developed and provide Columbus\, Ohio\, with a web portal at www.columbusneighbor hoods.org that encourages people to contribute images\, share video\, tell stories\, and categorize this content by neighborhood areas. Columbus Metropolitan Library is pleased to present this project and the insights learned in an effort to connect friends\, coworkers\, customers\, community contacts\, and anyone who has interest in the change within the Columbus communities!

Dire times call for a big\, hairy\, audacious goal (or a "BHAG\," if you will). The BHAG Public Library Advocacy Initiative (bhagColorado.blogspot.com) seeks to spark conversation and awareness about the transformative power of public libraries while generating support for public library funding in every Colorado community. Learn howthe BHAGers recruited\, trained\, and deployed external library advocates (folks who love libraries but don't collect a paycheck from the library) across 114 library systems. Their inspiration: OCLC's "From Awareness to Funding." Their tools: cloud computing\, blogging\, YouTube\, social media\, good old-fashioned storytelling\, and pure audacity. Get some insights and ideas about ways to engage supporters within your community.

They present technologies accompanied by an ever-increasing wave of information\, leaving many of us overwhelmed. So\, how can libraries add measurable value to what is consumed via the internet while enhancing lifelong learning and inspiring involvement in our new and fascinating "Age of Participation?" Mairn demonstrates interactively a variety of internet tools and services that can be incorporated anywhere online and/or in physical library spaces and highlights strategies to help provide more visibility to library resources. He discusses ways to help generate practical ideas for adding value\, including creating useful Twitter backchannels to inspire participation before\, during\, and after a presentation; starting Google Waves to communicate and share ideas; having actual voice conversations with groups in social networks; sharing your desktop screen so that you can show off your library's online tools over the internet; hosting live music concerts\, gaming activities\, and other library events; affixing QR (Quick Response) codes to book spines\, ID badges\, and doors to help guide mobile library users in your physical spaces to come visit your digital library space; and more.

How can staff stay on top of the latest library trends\, and empower individuals to think "lean and mean" when times demand creativity? One solution\, developed in Idaho during a summit on developing services for digital natives\, was to create a Special Projects Library Action Team (SPLAT). SPLAT members act in the crow's nest capacity of technological change. They search and share innovative ideas\, leads on projects\, and experimentin social media statewide; vet ideas; and bring ideas back to the local level. Supported by the Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICFL)\, the group has a statewide focus\, and members hold a wide range of perspectives and library experiences. Two SPLAT members present methods you can bring back to your communities to encourage collaboration\, innovation\, and creativity that will benefit your greater community.
